Modern Slavery Policy
Zero Degrees Systems is committed to preventing and eradicating modern slavery in all its forms. We recognize that modern slavery is a grave violation of human rights and a global issue that requires collective action. As a responsible corporate citizen, we are dedicated to ensuring that our operations and supply chains are free from any form of forced labor, human trafficking, or exploitation.
To fulfill this commitment, we have implemented a comprehensive set of policies and procedures that align with international standards and best practices. These include:
- Supplier Code of Conduct: We have established a robust Supplier Code of Conduct that sets out our expectations regarding labor standards, human rights, and ethical business practices. We require all our suppliers to adhere to these standards and regularly assess their compliance.
- Supply Chain Due Diligence: We conduct thorough due diligence on our suppliers to identify and assess any potential risks of modern slavery. This includes evaluating their labor practices, conducting site visits, and engaging in dialogue to ensure transparency and accountability.
- Employee Training and Awareness: We provide regular training and awareness programs to our employees to educate them about the signs of modern slavery and empower them to report any concerns. We have established confidential reporting mechanisms to ensure that employees can raise concerns without fear of retaliation.
- Audits and Monitoring: We conduct regular audits and monitoring activities to assess compliance with our policies and identify any areas for improvement. We collaborate with independent third-party auditors to ensure objectivity and credibility in our assessments.
- Collaboration and Engagement: We actively engage with industry peers, civil society organizations, and government agencies to share best practices, collaborate on initiatives, and advocate for stronger measures to combat modern slavery.
We are committed to transparency and accountability. Our modern slavery statement is published annually on our website, providing stakeholders with information about our efforts, progress, and challenges in addressing modern slavery. We continuously review and update our statement to reflect our ongoing commitment and the evolving nature of this issue.
At Zero Degrees Systems Limited, we firmly believe that by working together with our suppliers, employees, customers, and other stakeholders, we can make a meaningful impact in eradicating modern slavery. We remain steadfast in our commitment to upholding human rights and ensuring that our business operations are conducted ethically and responsibly.
